US EditionWNBA's Latest CBA Proposal Would Put Max Salary over $1.1M with Revenue Sharing, AP Source Says
The WNBA's proposal offers revenue sharing and sets a minimum salary above $220,000 for over 180 players, aiming for a quick agreement on a lucrative deal.
- On Nov 18, 2025, the Women's National Basketball Association proposed revenue sharing and a maximum salary of more than $1.1 million for multiple players per team, The Associated Press reported.
- Players exercised their opt-out last year seeking increased revenue sharing, higher salaries, improved benefits and a softer salary cap, and the current CBA deadline was extended to Nov. 30 to allow more negotiation time.
- Starting in the first year of the deal, more than 180 players would receive a league minimum of more than $220,000 and an average salary of more than $460,000.
- WNBA officials briefed the board this week, and people familiar with the negotiations told the AP the proposal is a highly lucrative package designed to hasten a deal.
- Given the 60-day extension precedent, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert expressed optimism about a transformational CBA, saying she hoped for a strong outcome.
